Trade ReviewKelley Carey has developed a very useful teaching guide as a companion to his book School District Master Planning: The Teaching Supplement. The book itself provides a number of case studies that can lead to lively classroom discussions to assist graduate students in gaining the knowledge and skills needed to understand and apply educational facility planning. The supplement restates each case and provides the instructor with additional information and suggested answers to the questions that follow them. In addition, the supplement provides information on useful websites and factors to consider in planning an individual school building. -- Leonard H.
